To lose a 24 hour race with mere minutes to go having lead it for hours... devastating.

Ole Martin Brundle did quite well in the Road to Le Mans race as well, pole position and ran in the top 3 in his stint. Not bad for an old man.]]>J i mOther MotorsportsWed, 22 Jun 2016 13:55:00 +0200https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098219#msg-1098219Re: 24 hours of Le Mans 2016 (Spoilers, just in case)https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098219#msg-1098219robracerOther MotorsportsWed, 22 Jun 2016 13:50:36 +0200https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098176#msg-1098176Re: 24 hours of Le Mans 2016 (Spoilers, just in case)https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098176#msg-1098176It was horrible. Felt so sorry for them. I don't know if I'd feel worse for a team to go out really early in the 24 hours or in the final 6 hours or so, but not on the second last lap.]]>gavOther MotorsportsTue, 21 Jun 2016 10:16:42 +0200https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098159#msg-1098159Re: 24 hours of Le Mans 2016 (Spoilers, just in case)https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098159#msg-1098159n00binioOther MotorsportsMon, 20 Jun 2016 22:56:39 +0200https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098130#msg-1098130Re: 24 hours of Le Mans 2016 (Spoilers, just in case)https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098130#msg-1098130-------------------------------------------------------> Does anyone know whether it would have helped to stop before the> finish line and cross the line immediately after the winner?

No, it wouldn't. They still would have to do a complete lap under the 6 mn as well (the rule was added after Stommelen stayed in front of the finish line for 20 mn or so in 1979). But it would have helped if they had stopped before the finish line rather than after to reinit the power unit which took them something like 4 mn and the reason why they failed to run the latest lap under the 6 mn.

That was a cracker of a race and an astonishing finish. I feel for Toyota even if I'm not a big fan of them, they didn't deserve that after doing such a good job all race long.]]>EricMoinetOther MotorsportsMon, 20 Jun 2016 10:27:09 +0200https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098123#msg-109812324 hours of Le Mans 2016 (Spoilers, just in case)https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1098123,1098123#msg-1098123Clip starts half a minute after the troubles begin:

Good to hear that I'm not the only one. Had to laugh pretty hard too :D

All talking about how that Audi-move damaged DTM's and Audi's reputation. Have to say: DTM has a reputation? Have stopped watching it long ago, only heard about it again because of that crash. And I may be in the minority but Audi gained reputation with me for that action. Can't stand Merc anymore, used to be favoring them in DTM but they be talking about "nah we don't do stallorder, would never do that" and yet ... . While I still love the looks of their cars, I couldn't have more antipathy against their behavior on track. Not so much the drivers but the guys behind the pitwall.

The penalty is mandatory, the discussion over that radiotransmission is ok, but I sure hope Audi doesn't completely get destroyed over this incident. Looking at what Merc is able to achieve however (they were allowed to develop their car through the whole year 2014 because they were so far behind. Looking at the results why isn't BMW allowed the same? That and quite a few other achievements...) I don't have much hope...]]>xSilvermanxOther MotorsportsTue, 04 Aug 2015 14:26:19 +0200https://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1003241,1082332#msg-1082332Re: DTM, Formula 3 and other Motorsportshttps://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?17,1003241,1082332#msg-1082332Gotta be honest though, I was laughing so hard when I saw this.
